A potential client before hiring me wants to chat with me and he provided his email to me. Should I move forward with the conversation in my email ? The clients payment method seems to be verified by the upwork.
Please let me know so I can move forward with the request.

Hi Aalap, communicating outside Upwork before being hired on Upwork is a violation of Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up. So you need to communicate on Upwork with this potential client.

No, don't do it. And payment verified means NOTHING when it comes to knowing whether they are legit or not.
